I hereby dub this shopping week

While everyone else is “Free Week”ing it–let those live-music lovers revel–I think we should be shopping. Mainly because I’ve found a lot of great deals to share with you!

Especially since I owned everything needed except the fake glasses, so how much easier can you get? Anyway, plenty of lists exist for…
